“It's Juventus-Chievo and we need to take it very seriously indeed," warned Allegri.

“Since Mimmo Di Carlo has taken over, they've managed five draws, a victory and just one defeat. They can believe in and fight for Serie A safety to the very end.

“We must learn to kill games off, because when the opponents are clinging on, you need to finish them. We mustn't give them the opportunity to get back into it. This squad has the DNA of champions and that means we must work every day to get better, not rest on our laurels."
